Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com A Woman's Work isn't interesting enough formally to get over the fact that it doesn't present much new material after its first ten minutes. Nov 8, 2019 Full Review Nick Schager Variety The central question raised by "A Woman's Work" is articulated, simply, by Pinzone: "Why would a billion-dollar industry do this?" The callous answer, per Yu's persuasive film: because it can. May 2, 2019 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills However you feel about the value of cheerleading (or football, for that matter), this is an engrossing, and maddening, portrait of institutionalized misogyny and injustice. Feb 2, 2021 Full Review Melissa Leon The Daily Beast The new documentary A Woman's Work examines the harassment, ogling, and incredibly low pay NFL cheerleaders receive, and the brave women fighting to change it. Jan 28, 2021 Full Review Lael Loewenstein FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's attractively shot, briskly edited, and overall recommended. Jan 23, 2021 Full Review Neely Swanson Easy Reader (California) A fine documentary... despite a tendency occasionally to veer off point. Jan 21, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

mary w This is a beautifully shot movie about women standing up for fair pay. It opened my eyes to what an NFL cheerleader's life is like through compelling stories (both about their fight for decent wages and their personal lives) that opened my eyes and touched my heart. I was lucky to see it at the Buffalo International Film Festival. If you have the chance to see it, go! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
